Definitions

  • the invention relates to a measuring equipment and a method for mapping the geology in an underground formation and which comprise at least one transmitter circuit with at least one transmitter coil and a current source, at least one switch inserted between the current source and the at least one transmitter coil and which during operation serves to connect the current source of the at least one transmitter circuit with the at least one transmitter coil to generate an electrical current for building up a magnetic field in the formation and to break the electrical current again to thereby cause the built-up magnetic field in the formation to decay, and at least one receiving circuit with at least one receiving coil to measure the decay signal.
  • the equipment consists of a transmitter unit with belonging transmitter cable and a receiving unit with belonging receiving coil. On the surface of the ground, the transmitter cable is laid out in a square which forms the transmitter coil with a typical area of 40 x 40 meters and which is connected to the transmitter unit.
  • the receiving coil is placed in the middle of the transmitter circle (Eng. central loop) or outside the transmitter circle (Eng. offset loop). Certain equipment also uses the transmitter coil as receiving coil (Eng. coincident loop).
  • This portable equipment works by an electrical current being supplied to the transmitter coil from the transmitter unit, which has a value of typically 1 - 5 ampere.
  • the current is abruptly cut off after a short period of time, typically 5 - 10 milliseconds, after which the magnetic field built up by the electrical current in the transmitter coil decays.
  • the measuring in the field is typically done along profile lines in such a way that the separate transient electromagnetic soundings are performed with predetermined mutual distances, typically 200 - 500 meters. Thereby, an estimate of the electrical resistance structure of the formation and thus of the geological formation along the profile lines can be achieved by interpretation of the separate soundings.
  • the interpretation results from the separate line profiles can be grouped through interpolation to a surface covering map or sectional profile of the electrical resistance relations and thus through interpretation of the results to a model of the geological formation in an area.
  • the transient electromagnetic method is used with great success in mineral exploration since many mineralizations are highly electrically conductive in respect to the mother rock in which they are deposited. Since large areas need to be investigated, instruments for use from fix-wing planes have been developed. Thus measurements in close profile lines can be made and the results can be grouped to surface covering maps over great areas.
  • the decay signal can however not be measured at the early decaying times since it is necessary to use relatively large transmitting currents and airspeeds and fly at an altitude corresponding necessarily to the assignment.
  • the decay signal can be measured in the time interval from a few microseconds after the transmitter current has been cut off to 5 - 10 milliseconds with instruments for use on the ground surface.
  • instruments with high transmission currents are used for aviation measurements, which means that the current in the transmitter coil will decay slowly after the current supply has been cut off in form of a so called cut-off current.
  • the measuring of the decay signal at early decay times will be influenced by the cut-off current in the transmitter coil and be unusable for use in an interpretation.
  • the size of the decay signal highly depends on the distance between the transmitter and receiving coils and their distances to the ground surface.
  • the transmitter coil encircles the plane and thereby induces eddy currents herein.
  • the receiving coil registers the thereby formed magnetic field.
  • the receiving coil Since it is the response of the soil and its characteristics that are interesting at transient sounding, the receiving coil must necessarily have the same planar orientation as the transmitter coil.
  • the technique known from the above US patent no. 3,835,371 which operates with coils that are perpendicular to each other, is close to useless for transient sounding which works with parallel coils.
  • the American patent US no. 5,557,206 describes another system for transient sounding.
  • two concentric coils one having a larger diameter than the other, are used to measure responses from the geological formation.
  • the two coils are serially connected in such a way that they obtain opposite current directions.
  • the field strength in the middle of the coil can be minimized or reduced to zero by adjusting the coils number of turns and area.
  • the strength of the coils' far field is however not minimal or zero since this strength depends on the area of the coils multiplied by number of turns of each coil and the current.
  • the far field can be used for measuring a geological deposit by induction of a field which can be measured in a receiving coil placed in the middle of the transmitter coils.
  • a measuring equipment of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph wherein the harmonic distortion is minimal.
  • a measuring equipment of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph is provided, wherein the measuring equipment is more compact than hitherto known.
  • a measuring equipment of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph is provided, wherein the measuring equipment can be airborne.
  • a measuring equipment of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph wherein distortion from leakage currents in the transmitter coil is minimal.
  • the at least one receiving coil of the measuring equipment is placed in an area where the induction in the receiving coil from currents in the transmitter coil is zero or minimal.
  • Another advantage is that the leakage currents in the transmitter coil do not influence the measurement of the decay signal to any appreciable degree.
  • the area of the transmitter coil according to the invention can moreover be reduced simultaneously with the increasing of the current. This advantageously allows the transmitter coil to be airborne.
  • Measuring equipment can comprise at least one preamplifier to amplify the registered voltage from the receiving coil, whereby the noise from the surroundings will influence the measurements in the receiving circuit to lesser degree.
  • an electrical switch can advantageously be placed for cutting off the connection between the receiving coil and the preamplifier.
  • the transmitter coils By placing the transmitter coils closely above each other on the same plane, it is advantageously obtained that they perform as one transmitter coil and thus total have an area which has a common tangent on the same plane as the transmitter coils.
  • closely above each other it should in this context be understood that the transmitter coils in their entirety are placed closely above each other or that their turns are placed closely above each other.
  • the number of turns in the separate coils can be changed for thereby obtaining different magnetic moments and turn off time for the transmitting currents.
  • the at least one transmitter coil of the measuring equipment can according to the invention be arranged to also transmit magnetic moments of different sizes, whereby different decaying times can be measured.
  • the wire of the transmitter coil can consist of a number of electrically insulated cores.
  • the size of the transmitter coil of the measuring equipment can advantageously be reduced from e.g. 40 x 40 meter of the known transmitter coil to, for example, a compact transmitter coil of 10 x 10 meters.
  • the compact transmitter coil according to the invention can be transported and laid out far easier than the large transmitter coils conventionally used.
  • the compact transmitter coil it will be possible to transmit large moments as in the conventionally used large transmitter coils whereby noise from the surroundings will interfere with the measurements to a lesser degree.
  • the compact transmitter coils according to the invention can furthermore be carried over the terrain by for example a helicopter or a balloon, whereby even impenetrable terrain can be measured quicker and easier than hitherto known.
  • the transmitter coils can be mounted on a suited frame.
  • Fig. 1 shows measuring equipment 1 for mapping the geology in an underground formation 2.
  • the measuring equipment comprises a cabinet 3 with a part of a transmitter circuit 4 and a receiving circuit 5 (shown in figs. 2, 3 and 4 ).
  • a transmitter coil 6 belonging to the transmitter circuit and a receiving coil 7 belonging to the receiving circuit are placed outside the cabinet.
  • This current is registered as a receiving voltage over the receiving coil.
  • the part of the receiving voltage which represents the secondary magnetic field is typically called the ground response or the decay signal.
  • the decay signal is analyzed by e.g. a computer (not shown), which preferably is placed in the cabinet and which interprets the structure of the formation on basis of said ground response.
  • This analysis is typically done with an iterative comparison between the decay signal and a mathematical model stored in the computer. By iteratively adapting the mathematical model, an identifiable representation of the formation can be provided.
  • decay signals are often very complex and by a mere human estimate of them, only a general estimate of the composition of the formation can be given.
  • a decay signal which has a large amplitude at the early decay times and thereafter decreases abruptly can for example generally be said to represent a formation which has a good electrically conductive composition in the top layer since this will provide a strong response and an insulating composition in the lower layers since the later decay times will provide a weak response because these layers are unable to build up particularly large eddy currents.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are diagrams of the transmitter circuit 4. In fig. 2 the transmitting circuit is connected and in fig. 3 it is disconnected.
  • the transmitter circuit 4 comprises a transmitting unit 11 for generating a desired signal in form of a transmitting current I T in the transmitter coil 6, which has a self-induction L coil .
  • the transmitter coil is shunted with a dampening resistor 12.
  • a breaker 13 with a switch 14 and a protection diode 15 are inserted.
  • Such a breaker can be built up of many different components but will typically be a MOSFET transistor with an avalanche diode.
  • MOSFET transistors which also are called switch transistors, have the ability of being able to assume either conductive or insulating states whereby the desired break function is obtained by switching between these two states.
  • the avalanche diode of the MOSFET protects the transistor from "burning" out at too high voltages. In known MOSFET transistors such avalanche diode typically make sure that the voltage over the transistor does not exceed 600 Volt, which also is known as the avalanche voltage.
  • the transmitting area of the transmitter coil can for example be 10 x 10 meters and have one to four turns depending on the desired transmitted magnetic moment 16.
  • the magnetic moment 16 is defined as I T * A transmitter * n , where I t is the transmitting current, A transmitter is the area of the transmitter coil, and n is the number of turns in the transmitter coil.
  • a transmitting current of 50 ampere in four turns can for example generate a large magnetic moment and a transmitting current of 20-30 ampere in one to two turns can for example generate a low moment.
  • the decay signal is directly proportional to the transmitted moment. Since the signal level of the decay signal is high at early times a lower moment than at measurement of late decay times can be used here. The low moment can be turned of considerably faster than the high moment since the self-induction of the associated transmitter coil is smaller and it is thus easier to measure the decay signal at early times with low magnetic moments without the signal being influenced by the decay of the cut-off currents.
  • the decay times which are desired measured upon emission of above-mentioned magnetic moment, are typically within a time interval from 10 microseconds to 10 milliseconds.
  • the decay in other time intervals can however also advantageously be measured by use of the measuring equipment according to the invention, as the transmitted moments then have to be adapted thereto.
  • Fig. 4 shows the receiving circuit 5 for registering of decay signal.
  • the receiver consists of receiving coil 7, a preamplifier 17 for the receiving coil and a receiving unit 18 to receive and further process and/or analyze the received decay signal.
  • the receiving area A receiver of the receiving coil is typically about 50 x 50 cm with 2 x 10 turns.
  • the preamplifier 17 of the receiving coil can for example differentially amplify about 60 times, have a low output impedance and be close to the receiving coil, since the receiving unit 18 is placed in considerable distance from the preamplifier, for example 10 meters, which is why a strongly driven signal is required through the cable in order to avoid the signal being distorted by surrounding noise.
  • Fig. 5 shows graphically the transmitting current I T , which is applied in fig. 2 as a function of time. As it appears an up slope of the current I T is taking place in the interval 0 to t cut-off . Thereafter the transmitting current is cut off, as shown in figure 3 , by the breaker 13 at the time t cut-off , after which a large cut-off voltage V Tcut-off is immediately created in the transmitter coil 6.
  • Fig. 6 graphically shows the generated voltage V Rcoil in the receiving coil as a result of the direct coupling between the transmitting circuit 4 and the receiving circuit 5.
  • the desired decay signal V decay which is shown with the decreasing dotted line, is obtained when the transmitting current in the transmitter coil is turned off at the time t cut-off .
  • the voltage which is obtained due to the coupling from the transmitter circuit, wholly or partly drowns the decay signal.
  • the harmonic distortion can often completely drown out the decay signal or parts thereof at the late decay times and thereby prevent a measurement of this.
  • This harmonic distortion has earlier caused problems at such measurements especially if the receiving coil was placed inside the transmitter coil which typically was a standard configuration of known measurement arrangements.
  • the problem has however been that the magnetic field is large in the middle of the transmitter coil and has a strong vertical component which leads to the harmonic distortion in the preamplifier of the receiving coil.
  • Another problem with the known technique is that, when cutting off the coils, a small current, leakage current, will still run therein because of components in the circuit that are not ideal. Since leakage current decreases slowly, the measurements are especially disturbed by the decay signal in the last time period of a series of measurements.
  • Fig. 7b graphically illustrates the measurements which are obtained when the receiving coil is placed in the middle of the transmitter coil V center where the induction from the leakage currents V leakcenter is strong, and when the receiving coil is placed in a position V pos where the induction from the leakage current V leak is minimal.
  • the distortion of the resulting measurement V center is high when the receiving coil is in the middle of the transmitter coil, but minimal when the receiving coil is in an area with minimal induction from the leakage currents.
  • Figs. 8, 9 and 10a , b , c show that there is a hatched area 19 outside of the transmitter coil, in which the vertical component V from the magnetic field, shown with dotted field lines 32, generated by a horizontally placed transmitter coil, is zero or minimal. This causes the magnetic field in this area, which in the following is called zero area, to only have a horizontal component H .
  • the receiving coil By placing the receiving coil in the zero area with the plane oriented in the horizontal plane defined by said horizontal component, i.e. parallel to the transmitter coil, it is obtained that the magnetic induction from currents in the transmitter coil becomes minimal and that the harmonic distortion in the preamplifier of the receiving coil thus also becomes minimal.
  • a further advantage in placing the receiving coil in the above-mentioned way is that the induction in the receiving coil from the magnetic field which originates from leakage currents in the transmitter coil becomes minimal. Thus the distortion of the decay signal measured in the receiving coil will also be minimal. Even though leakage currents are present during the whole measuring interval, the mentioned technique allows the decay signal to be measured undisturbed by these.
  • the zero area is further away from the transmitter coil measured in the plane 20 of the transmitter coil the greater the distance is above or below the plane of the transmitter coil.
  • the voltage induced in the receiving coil will furthermore have relatively large differential changes the closer the receiving coil is placed to the horizontal plane of the transmitter coil compared to the differential changes in the induced voltage if the receiving coil is placed horizontally in the zero area at a distance from the plane of the transmitter coil.
  • the receiving coil is placed in a large number of positions relative to the transmitter coil depending on the embodiment of the frame which carries the transmitter coil. In both cases, the receiving coil is placed horizontally in the zero area at a distance from the horizontal plane of the transmitter coil.
  • the transmitter coil when placed horizontally, is further formed in such a way that an incised corner is formed with a zero area for convenient placement of a horizontally placed receiving coil.
  • Fig. 12 shows a second embodiment of the receiving circuit with a receiving switch 21 inserted between the receiving coil and the preamplifier.
  • the receiving switch can advantageously be activated after the avalanche sequence has ended at the time t contact whereby the harmonic distortion V harmon is dampened considerably, about 80 to 100 dB.
  • Such a switch 15 will typically be of an electronic type such as transistors or FETs, such as the described MOSFET in the transmitter circuit since mechanical switches typically are too slow for use in the present invention and furthermore will contribute with harmful noise.
  • the insertion of the receiver switch is not always sufficient.
  • the best way possible to avoid that the harmonic distortion interferes with the measurements of the decay signal is often advantageously to combine this solution with the above-described placement of the receiving coil.
  • the desired magnetic moment 16 which, as mentioned earlier, is defined by I T * A tranmitter * n, it is typically the transmitter current I t which is the value that can be varied the most.
  • the area A transmitter is limited to the fact that the construction needs to be easy to handle with respect to its size, and just a relatively small number of turns in the coil quickly results in an unacceptable high self-induction L coil , which further leads to the fact that, even at slow decay times, the current of the transmitter coil cannot be cut off fast enough to reliably be able to measure the wanted decay signal.
  • the 16 mm soft cored cable 22 shown in fig. 15a therefore has a solid core 23.
  • Use of such cables with solid cores or several non-insulated cores will however produce the 'thick thread effect' V tt graphically shown in figure 14 .
  • Transmitter coil 6 induces this thick thread effect in the receiving coil 7 resulting in that the decay signal only can be measured later at the time t measure in fig. 14 since it is drowned out by the voltage V tt from the thick thread effect.
  • the thick thread effect can however be reduced considerably by using the cable 24 shown in fig. 15b having 16 1mm insulated cores.
  • the factors which decide the length of the avalanche sequence is the size of the transmitting current, the avalanche voltage and the self-induction of the transmitter coil.
  • the current amperage can only be decreased if the area is increased and/or the number of turns is increased. Due to logistical reasons it is hard to increase the area considerably since the transmitter coil then would become difficult to handle. If the number of turns is increased instead, the self-induction is increased. This solution is therefore not expedient, especially since the self-induction of a coil is proportional with the number of turns squared. A doubling of the number of turns therefore leads to a quadrupling of the self-induction. The self-induction can however be reduced to a lesser degree by spreading the coil. It is however only minimal improvements that can be obtained in this manner.
  • Switch transistors of the IGBT type can however be used which can handle a considerable higher cut-off voltage. These transistors must be protected externally by avalanche diodes or other protection circuitry since they do not, as the MOSFET technology, have avalanche diodes as a part of their internal structure.
  • IGBT switch transistors have a considerable "tail current" which still runs in the switch after this has been turned off and thereby creates a magnetic field in the transmitter coil which will distort the measurement of the decay signal in the receiving coil.
  • a simple and advantageous method according to the invention for reducing the cut-off time consists of using several transmitters each having its own transmitter coil which is turned off separately.
  • Fig. 16 shows a transmitting arrangement 26 with a 24 Volts battery 27 which sends a transmitting current through the transmitting circuit with amperage of 50 Ampere through a transmitter coil 28 with four turns.
  • Fig. 17 shows an alternative transmitter arrangement 29 with two transmitter coils 30 which each have two turns placed on top over each other. Advantageously they are placed close and immediately next to each other.
  • a 12 Volts battery 31 sends a transmitter current with amperage of 50 Ampere through each of the transmitter coils 30.
  • Another approach to measure the full time interval from 10 microseconds to 10 milliseconds consists in the fact that a pattern is transmitted in shape of different magnetic moments from the transmitter circuit.
  • the early times can be measured by transmitting a low moment in one to two turns with for example 20 ampere, which quickly is allowed to be cut off.
  • a high moment of for example 50 Ampere in four turns can be transmitted.
